PHILADELPHIA -- Jake Gardiner scored a power-play goal at 2:51 of overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.
The Flyers fell a point behind Boston and Detroit for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. But Philadelphia would secure a playoff berth by winning its last two games. The Bruins and Red Wings each have one game left and one of them is guaranteed a playoff berth that goes to the third-place team in the Atlantic Division.
Wayne Simmonds scored the tying goal with 58 seconds left and goalie Steve Mason pulled for the extra skater.
